Various stage coaches between Landon and Birmingham, per form the distance at a mile an hour greater speed than the Mails do, and so would the latter, were they allow ed a third pair of horses as the stage-coaches are, when required for a few miles on hilly or rough portions. The delays on the Railroad are attributable partly to these accidents occurring to the moving power, and partly to these accidents curtailing the means of serving the public properly. But the true cause is the true cause is the great and unexpected success and pros perity of the Grand Junction Railway. Like every trade having too much to do, they have not been able, although the most praiseworthy exertions appear to have been made at all times, to serve the public in the manner intended. This is an evil which will soon be remedied, if I do not greatly misapprehend the intentions of that flourishing Company. You may remember urgin -; me to have the mail-co ch way-bills by the railway route sent direct to Edinburgh and Glasgow, as those are which belong to the mails using com mon reads only. In the first place, let me tell you, there never was a mail-coach way-bill from London to Glasgow. On that line of road it stopt at Carlisle, and there recom menced, although a way-hill direct from London to Edin burgh was always sent. This is one of the little tricks of the trade I was let into almost four years ago, the object being to screen front common observers the disgraceful delay, or rather long stoppages at Carlisle. But there is a better reason for no way-bill by the Railway route, and this is there being no contract between the Post office and the Grand Junction Railway Company for carrying the mail ; there is merely a sort of loose agreement or under standing as to time and price, but nothing binding—nothing obligatory—far less any penalty for non-perfor,nance. Here is the real cause of the delays :—the Railway Company have never refused a carriage or a passenger; they have loaded the mail-train engines as their own carrying trade required; and in so doing, they have acted as any other uncontrolled trading Company would have done in similar circumstances. The agreement, such as it is, luckily for Scotland, is to cease on the sth of Feb. 1838 ; until that date the people of Scot land must receive their correspondence and newspapers as shall suit the convenience of horse contractors for mail-coaches, and the Grand Junction Railway Company. After the sth of Feb., it is to be hoped that the Post-office will take other and better security than now exists for the regular conveyance of the mails. It is alleged that railway conveyance is nob and will not be found so steady and regular as mail-coaches on common roads. The evidence I have heard, and my own senses convince me, of the fallacy of such a position. Put mail-coaches beyond their mark of load and speed, and they will be irregular enough ; give them a pair of horses in ad dition, when required, driven by a postilion, and they will keep their time to a minute, and that too within it, barring accidents and overloading. So will locomotive engines. Load them under rather than over their mark, and require them to go a fair uniform rate, in place of an extra one, and they will do their work beautifully. As the coachman said of the Re form Bill, " It's all a matter of wittuals"—alias expense; and new is the time for Scotchrnen to bestir thamselves, lest ig norance carelessness, parsimony or greed in any quarter, shall stand in the way of their just right of having their correspon dence regularly and exactly at the time appointed, let the ex pense be w hat it may. Let the public authorities look carefully to this ; and in all the first-rate towns insist on a way-bill of the London mails being exhibited daily in a frame covered with glass, some public hart of the Post-Office. This should have been done all along ; but now that the public arc to have two sets cf servants to deal with, mail-coach contractors and railway companies, it becomes absolutely neces sary to see the way-bill, in order to prevent the one from turning over the blame of delays on the other so as to enhance the difficulty of procuring punctuality. Before I conclude, it is right I should add, that it has been made quite plain that the mails are not to be conveyed along the London and Birmingham Railway fur fifteen or eighteen months to come. That is to say, mails travelling by night from London, which almost every distant mail will continue to do, until the prejudices and convenience of the officials in tho London Post-office are made subservient to the public interest.

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A FEW DAYS. Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough -street. (FROM A PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.) The war of independence which has declared itself in Lower Canada, to shake off the yoke of the mother country, is the subject of much speculation among the Republican and Liberal party in this capital, and many old officers of le granite armie have left fur Havre for the purpose of proceeding to New York, and from thence to join the patriots in the dirturbed provinces. This is another proof, if any were wanting, of the bad Government of Lord Glenelg and the Whig Administra tion, which in all probability will stain the dawn of Queen Victoria's reign with the blood of her oppressed subjects. The Canadians have ever been a loyal•and peaceful people, strongly, attached to their Sovereign and mother country, and have supported for years with patience the arbitary measures of the military Governors who have been imposed upon them by the Secretary of State of the Colonial Department. They have presented in vain their petitions to the House of Commons, complaining of the acts of injustice practised towards thorn and seeking for redress, but their complaints have been treated with contempt by the British Government, and after thus holding out the olive branch without hope, they have been therefore driven through despair and the despotism of the Co lonial Authorities, to draw the sword of liberty and demand their national rights. 'The eyes of Europe are now fixed on the policy that will be pursued by the Queen's Ministers, and whether England will act the second part, as the despot of Russia did towards the heroic Poles, by bayonetting in cold blood the misgoverned and once faithful Canadian, whose only crime is that of wishing to enjoy the same freedom as his an cestors. The fire-brand of liberty will no doubt extend itself to the sister country of Upper Canada, ready to throw off the chains of oppression, and in all probability before 1838 closes, the Canadas will be lost for ever to England, through her tyrannic Government towards her Colonists (whom she treats as the slaves of the West Indies), as she has lost the United States of North America, and will before half a century is over those of New South Wales, if not of India itself. In this country there are thousands of daring young men nd good officers, who only wait the opportunity of proving their impla cable hatred to the British nation, or at least Government, and a Society, composed of the most influential Republicans and Liberals, is forming to afford every facility for conveying a legion to the United States, there to recruit for the Canadian cause—nous verrons !

TO THE WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATIONS OF ENGLAND. MY DE AR FELLOW -MEN,—I arrived in Edinburgh on Wednes day, the 3d, and attended the trial of the Cotton Sinners on an information (the Scotch lawyers call a libel) contained in forty eight close printed quarto pages. You will be glad to learn that the Scotch Crown lawyers have beets compelled to abandon their accusation of murder against the iN hole Committee of the Cotton Spinners, and to confine the charge to combining to raise the wages of their trade. The charge of murder is still maintained against M'Lean, who was not a member of the Committee ; and being often drunk (that curse of all curses for working men) ap pears, in his cups, to have been bragging about things he never did. The witness examined this day was clearly a spy. I never saw such a farce of justice. A Whig lawyer, called Handy side, put the words into the witness's mouth, and he was allowed to give his opinions, and supposes, and hearsays, instead of being limited to facts. A Scottish Court of Judicature is as infamous a tribunal as the French Chamber of Peers. The same evening we had a grand meeting at the Waterloo Rooms. They were filled to the utmost power of cramming, and thousands were sent away from want of room. About three thou sand were present. They were addressed by the head of the Radi cal Church, the Rev. Joseph Stephens, myself, Feargus O'Conner, and John Taylor. That excellent Radical, John F raser , was in the Ch a i r . Th e Whigs and Tories had mustered and hissed, and hooted, but the Radicals beat them ten to one. Stephens led the forlorn hope, by commencing the attack. He spoke to a reso lution moved by a fine Radical, M'Kerracher, and seconded by a working man, to the effect that Scotland would aid England in forcing the repeal of the Poor-law Amendment Bill. Despite of Wl!ig . and T er y oppos i t i on, this was carried by an overnhelming rnajmity. 1 then moved the same resolution and petition which had been agreed to at our canny town of Newcastle, on behalf of the brave Canadians. I did not mince the matter. I concluded by proposing three cheers for Papineau and Canada, which were lustily given. An amendment was moved by a gentleman connected .with the tyrants of Lower Canada, but my resolu tion and the petition were carried by a large majority. O'Conner then came forward in dashing style and soon put down the hissing. He moved a resolution of the Scotch, thanking the working men of England for their efforts nn behalf of the Cotton Spinners, and pledging themselves to join us in obtaining Universal Suffrage. This resolution was carried unanimously. The Whigs and Tories ware so cowed—perfect freedom of discussion was allowed. Your's, in all brotherly kindness, AUGUSTUS H. BEAUMONT. Edinburgh, Jan. 4, 1838. The trial of the Cotton Spinners is expected to last several days. If they do get justice, they may thank the working men of England, and some excellent men of the middle class. FOREIGN AND BRITISH SPIRITS.

An immediate move of all the regiments in Ireland will be the consequence of the withdrawal of troops now under orders for Canada. The Ist battalion of the Coldstream Guards, at present in Dublin, will most likely return to Lon don, and take their share of the household duties. The Hercules, 74, is to take on board 500 of the men in tended to be added to the service companies of the regiments in Canada. The Inconstant has already embarked a portion of the 93d Highlanders, and the head-quarters and remaining companies are to be conveyed out by the Pique, daily ex pected at Cork. - The Boadicea freight-ship is to take out the draught of the 11th and 73d Regiments to Gibraltar, where they are to join the service companies ; thence the entire will be conveyed to Quebec by ships of war. A correspondent recommends that no resignations of officers in the Guards should be accepted until they join their regi ments in Canada, and also that such vacancies should be filled up by promotions from regiments of the line. Major W. F. Williams, K. H., has sailed for Canada by the last packet, with despatches for Sir John Colborne. This dis tinguished officer was formerly iu the 85th Light Infantry, and received several wounds during the Peninsular war : he is also known for a very beautifully drawn survey of the island of Malta. We consider it necessary to state, that the number of men intended for Canada, as announced by the United Service Gazette of Saturday, is incorrect, inasmuch as our Contem porary states the entire to be only 3,900, whereas the troops at present under orders, including the Artillery, amount to very nearly 7,000 rank and file. FALMOUTH, SATURDAY MORNING.—Th e Soho steamer, Baines, arrived in the night with the Peninsular and Mediterranean mails. Left Gibraltar, 30th ult. ; Cadiz, 28th; Lisbon, 31st ; Oporto, Ist instant, and Vigo, the 2d. Only two passengers. Public attention at Lisbon was occupied with the plans of the Minister of Finance, which all condemned, but for which none could propose a substitute. The state of the whole country was awful. By an official report presented by the Minister of the Interior to the Cortes, it appeared that in nine districts only, out of the twenty-one into which Portu gal is divided, there had been committed in six months more than six hundred and ninety murders, and 1,750 highway and other robberies 11 l—Falmouth Express, a new paper just started. HENRY OF CASTILE.—The Queen's levity might have sought some justification in the unveiled licentiousness of her husband. One of the maids of honour whom she brought in her train, acquired an ascendancy over Henry which he did not attempt to disguise ; and the palace, after the exhibi tion of the most disgraceful scenes, became divided by the factions of the hostile fair ones. The Archbishop of Seville did not blush to espouse the cause of the paramour, who maintained a magnificence of state which rivalled that of royalty itself. The public were still more scandalised by Henry's sacriligious intrusion of another of his mistresses into the post of abbess of a convent in Toledo, after the expulsion of her predecessor, a lady of noble rank and irreproachable character. The stream of corruption soon finds its way from the higher to the more humble walks of life. The middling cla , ses, imitating their superiors, indulged in an excess of luxury ec i a:y dc moralising and ruinous to their fortunes. The contagion of example infected even tile higher ecclesiastics; and we find the Archbishop of St James hunted from his see by the indignant populace, in consequence of an ou trage attempted on a youthful bride, as she was returning from Church, after the performance of the nuptial ceremony. The rights of the people could be but little consulted, or cared for, in a Court thus aband o ned t o un b oun d e d li cence . Accordingly we find a repetition of most of the unconstitutional and op pressive acts ehich occurred under John the Second of Cas tile ; attc mpts at arbitrary taxation, interference in the free. ilom of e l ect i ons , an d i n t h e r i g h t exerc i sed b y t h e cities of nominating the commanders of such contingents of troops as they might contribut e to the public defence. Their territories were repeatedly alienated, and, as well as the immense sums raised by the sale of Papal indulgences for the prosecution of the Moorish war, were la , ished on the Royal satellites. But perhaps the most crying evil of this period was the s hameless adulter a ti on o f t h e co i n. I nstead of fire Royal mints, which formerly exi s t e d, t h ere were now one hundred and fifty in the hands of authorised indiv:duals, who debased the coin to such a deplorabl e extent , that the most common articles .of life were en h ance d i n va l ue t h ree, four, and even six fold. Those who owed deb:s, eagerly anticipated the sea son of payment—and, as the creditors decidedly refused to accept it in the depreciated currency, it became a fruitful source of litigation and tumult, until the whole nation seemed on the verge of bankruptcy. Iu this general license, the right . of the strongest was the only one which could make itself heard. The nobles, converting their castles into dens of robbers, plundered the property of the traveller, which was afterwards sold publi c l y i n t h e c i t ie s. O ne of these ro bb e r . alert : ens, who h e ld an i m p ort ant command on the front i ers o f Murcia, was in the habit of carrying on an infamous traffic with the Moors, by se lli ng t o t h em as s l aves the Chr i st i an prisoners of either sex w h om h e h a d captured i n h i s marau di n g expeditions. When subdued by Henry, after a sturdy resist ance, he was again received into favour, and reinstated in his possessions. The pusillanimous monarch kneiv neither whose to pardon nor to punish. —Prescott's History of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain. COMMERCE OF FRANCE AND AFRICA. —The French Go vernment have long been jealous of the commercial power of Great Britain in the Mediterranean and the northern coast of Africa, to the great detriment of the industry of this coun try. She has been allowed to take possession of Algiers and Constantine, without receiving the most distant remonstrance on the part of the supine Secretary of State for Foreign Af fairs, Lord Palmerston ; and Louis Phillippe finds that to keep himself and his descendants firm upon the throne, it is only by encouraging the vain glory of conquest of the French people, whose ambition will not be satisfied until the whole of northern Africa, which offers so many resources, becomes under their dominion as a Colony, and thereby destroy British trade and influence in that part of the globe. The Ministers of Com merce and Marine are well aware of the advantages that arc to .be derived by this conquest, and a secret plan has been for some time on the Lapis to invade Tunis, and take possession of that Regency, without giving offence to the British Govern ment; and a favourable opportunity is only looked forward to by the Doctr:nnaire Ministry, so as to render themselves more popular, to declare war with the Bey of Tunis, who they al ready pretend as an avante garde has insulted the French na tion by not fulfilling his engagements in allowing the erection of a Catholic Chapel to the memory of Saint Louis on the spot where it is said that Holy Monarch died. The army of Africa is to be reinforced by new and fresh troops, which will amount to an effective force of 35,000 men, with a good materiel of artillery, and those that are sick will be recalled home. Great inducements are held out to the different regiments for this service, and the Minister of War has received more a ppli ca ti ons from the Colonels of various corps to form part of the African army than he can possibly comply with. In the meantime the Minister of Marine is most indefatigable in increasing the French navy at Toulon, Brest, Rochfort, Bayonne, Cherbourg, and other Government dock-yards. Several new ships of war are ordered to be immediately put upon the stocks. Russia, with unbounded ambition and jealousy of the commercial ma ritime power of Great Britain, is also building ships of war in every direction, and equipping a numerous fleet in the Black Sea and the Dardanelles, in the hope that she will be able to contend against the naval forces of England in the grand enterprise she has in view in subjugating Turkey under her despotic sway, and rendering Con stantinople the Palace of her Czars, which was predicted by the sanguinary Empress Catherine. This attack on Turkey has been in contemplation for some time by the Russian Mi nistry, as the spirit of liberty is increasing too rapidly in Egypt and the East against the tyrannic views of the Autocrat, and the Paella is too closely allied with England not to cause alarm to the Grand Sultan, who is willing to submit to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg if reigning under their bayonets and hordes of Cossacks. The East India possessions of Great Britain are likely to become much endancered by such an alliance, border ing- as the Russian empire will then be upon that vast commer cial resource to English industry ; and still, with all these ma ritime preparations on the part of this country and Russia, the British navy is allowed by the Whig Ministry, on the score of economy, to remain in that state, that in the event of a sudden war, she would not be able to man forty, or even twenty, ships of the line, without having recourse to that unconstitutional practice—the press-gang. The following is the return of the French naval force in the Mediterranean : TURKEY SQUADRON.—Commanded by Vice-Admiral Gal lois. The frigates Jupiter ( Admiral's Ship) Santa Petri, Triton, Montebello, and the Trident ; Brigs—the Palinure, Petit Thouars, Bongainville, Surprise, and the Argus. AFRICAN SQUADRON.—Commanded by Rear-Admiral La !antic. The frigates Tena ( Admiral Ship), Suffren, Algesiras, and the corvette the Diligente. ON THE AFRICAN STATlON.—Brigs—the Dragon, Conedie, Liamone, Cornet, Egerie, Emulation, Riberach, Seyboure, Tafna, Colombo, Iris, Marne, Caravane, Agate, Fortune, Durance, and the Menagerie sloops. Steam-boats—Castor, Cerbere, Papin, Sphinx, Etna, Crocodile, Tartare, Chimere, Foulton, Acheron, Vantour, Styx, Ranvier, and the Phare. ON THE COAST OF SPAIN.—The frigates Iphigenie, Egle, Fleche, Volage, Meleagre, and Alum'. Coast of Italy, the Perle. On foreign stations, the Diadem, Alert, Hercule, Favorite, Lutin, Indienne, Expeditienne, and Chaurnois. At Toulon, the brig Alcibiade, Sylph, Merange, a nd le Furet, besides several sloops of war and cutters. These ships are all well manned and armed. With this naval force France can easily take possession of Tunis and Tripoli with out fearing any opposition from England by sea. The favor able opportunity is, therefore, only wanting to declare war, and those two cities sill fall like Algiers and Constantine into the hands of the sworn commercial enemy of Great Britain. By a return that has been printed for the purpose of proving to the Minister of Commerce, and the Chamber of Deputies, the importance of that Regency to France, it will be seen what perhaps are the views of the Board of Trade, or Chambre de Commerce, on that point.

COAIBINATION.— Mr. O'Connell will meet the Trades on Monday (this day) ; and it is needless to say that we augur the best results from the conference. —Dublin Even ing Post. few weeks—if we except the ordinary policereports—deserv ing of the special attention of the quid nuncs. O'Connell's collision with the trades, and the insurrection in Canada, have ceased to produce so much excitement in the news-rooms and clubs as was manifest a few days ago. Though the news papers, however, are less anxiously sought after, or pored over with less intensity of attention than when almost filled with the Liberator's exhortations to his fellow-citizens, or with the details of the reecontres between Papincau's followers and our fellow subjects on the other side of the Atlantic, Irishmen are not one whit less speculative and curious than they have always been respecting the progress of public affairs. And all those who have not some deep and substantial interest in being other wise engaged, are everywhere very busy in discussing the re sult of the great metropolitan dinner which is to take place here or, Thursday next—(and of which more by and bye) — the consequences of the Canadian strike for more freedom, on that country and on Ireland—and, though last not least, the effects of the junction between your late contemporary, the True Sun, and your own steady-going, perennial, and truth telling luminary. It is, indeed, no exaggeration to state, that, as far as the observation of an individual during the last ten days is wor thy of belief, a great portion of the people of Ireland, in cluding persons of every rank and shade of Liberal—and per haps some of anti-Liberal—opinions, feel considerable interest in the circumstance last mentioned. As the reason for this may not be very obvious to all your readers, I shall endeavour to explain it. During the last six or seven years your journal has taken a leading, if not the foremost part, of all your Lon. don contemporaries in Irish politics. It has advocated the part of the people, and exposed the corruption of their op- pressors. We have in this country several publications, both in the metropolis and the provinces, conducted by liberal and I enlightened individuals, who have been earnest and eloquent is reprobating many public abuses, which, during the long pe riod of Tory misgovernment and Orange ascendancy, by irri tating and oppressing, have nearly demoralized and degraded several millions of the most laborious, sensitive, and intelli gent people in the universe. But their circulation being comparatively limited in England, they had little or no effect on the other side of the channel, much less on the British Le gislature. By your commentaries, however, on such passing events in this country as came under your observation, you not only stimulated the exertions of O'Connell, aid, and other Irish patriots and representatives in the discharge of their pub lic duties, but your example induced your contemporaries to consider the same objects deserving of attention ; and thus, within the short period already mentioned, the affairs of Ire land, from having been as little regarded as those of Canada, if not less, have become matters of paramount consideration with the press, the public, the Legislature and the Govern ment of the United Kingdom. This circumstance, together with the Express Editions of The Sun, had greatly increased the number of your readers in this country amongst all the moderate, liberal, and independent politicians. The True Sun had also become a general favourite with the Radicals, and was likely to advance rather than retrograde latterly, among those who may be called Independents—that is, who belong neither to the present Government, to the O'Connell, or to the Orange party. They, to be sure, are not very nu merous as contradistinguished from the Liberals, for since Earl Alulgrave's Government has conciliated O'Connell, and uni versal confidence amongst Reformers, society is almost com pletely divided into two parties—the Conservatives and their opponents. There are, however, some few persons standing aloof from either; and truth obliges me to say, they are in every sense respectable and independent—whose respect for the True Sun and its line of politics has been fomented, if not altogether erected, by the notice taken of that journal, as well as of some others of the same politics, by the Orange press, for their own purposes. The Evening:Mail has had frequent quotations from the Radical press since the opening of Parliament, with the view of injuring the present Govern ment, by showing that that great pillar of Reform was not likely to continue a steadfast support to them. These quota tions were--fortunately for the good cause, like other Tory doings—some of the best specimens of public sentiment and a true regard for the people's welfare that have been pub lished, and if the organs of the faction knew their effect upon some of their own readers, they would, no doubt, be slow in increasing their publicity. All these circumstances are now favourable to your journal, provided it continues to pursue that same straightforward course which has hitherto distinguished it —neither pampering the people in their inconsiderate postu lations, nor apologising for the Government in their dilatory pleas and plausible professions. If the Liberal press of both colititries had avoided these extremes since the last formation of the Melbourne Cabinet, the real interests of the nation would have made a greater progress than they have done. You arc now in a position to command " the administration of national justice," by exercising with energy and discretion that censorial power which properly belongs to a free press in an enlightened age. Use this privilege boldly, and you can. not fail in securing increased benefits for yourself and the country. _ _ In a ° few days all Ireland will be on the qui vive, preparing petitions to Parliament for Corporate Reform, Vote by Bal lot, and the Abolition of Tithes. These are objects in which the inhabitants of the entire kingdom have a common interest, and which will not be delayed or lost sight of, no matter how pressing the affairs of Canada, or other matters deserving the consideration of Parliament, may be. They must, conse quently, be pressed forward immediately after the recess with undiminished perseverance, whether successfully or otherwise in the present state of parties and general politics it is im possible to say. The people of Ireland will do their duty ; and it is to be hoped their representatives will do the same. The latter may not be able to obtain such a measure—if any—of Corporate Reform, Poor laws, and Tithe Abolition, as their constituents expect. There are, however, several other measures of minor and local advantage, which might be obtained, notwitstanding the strong opposition ; because they depend upon the abolition of abuses which no one—no matter how Tory or Orange he may be—can have the hardihood to defend. Among these is the statement of the St. George's Church nuisance, or job in this city, the full particulars of which were given in The Sun of the 11th of November last. The history of this jeb is the most extraordinary of any ever yet detailed in the cata logues of public abuses and corruptions. Some of the Dublin Liberal Press, the Evening Post and Register, have abridged the statement from The Sun, and promised to direct attention to it again and again. In the meantime a requisition is being prepared to convene a public meeting on the subject, when the whole business will be exposed. It may turn out that no person now alive is legally culpable, much less accountable for, the 60,0001. already extorted from the parhhioners under the sanction of three private Acts of Parliament. But the transaction will net appear the less nefarious on that account ; it being, in fact, the clearest illustration that can be referred to of the audacious peculations and profligacy of the Ascend ancy faction of Ireland during the nineteenth century. And what is most strange is, that though thousands are still mulcted annually for the sustainment of this jcb, and are ex claiming against it, no wail organised endeavour has yet been made, either to try the legality of the demand in a Court cf Law, since the passing of the Church Temporalities Act, or to petition Parliament for the redress affo:deil by that Act to all the other parishes of Ire'a.ml. It is a strong proof that the gentry, or that portion of the community who call them selves gentry—and who constitute the majority of persons liable to this tax—arc, when left to themselves, averse to Reform, and unwilling to promote it, even where. their own pockets are concerned. There will be no marked expression of public opinion in this country on the great political crisis now approaching till Thursday next, when the great dinner to O'Connell and our County Members is expected to afford an opportunity for that purpose. The preparations for this banyto.t are oa the most extensive scale. Five hundred tickets are already disposed of. The great circus of the Theatre in which it is to take place cannot accommodate more than 600 gentlemen at the tables, and about 1,000 ladies in the boxes ; but arrangements are in progress to have an ante-rocm, capable cf containing 200, in readiness for the occasion. ANECDOTE OF HER MAJESTY.—On Wednesday last, while her Majesty and the Duchess of Kent, attended by the Royal suite, were returning on horseback towards Windsor from Colnbrook, a heavy shower of rain came on just as the Royal party approached Ditton Farm, belonging to Mr. White, where they entered the rickyard, and the whole of the party took shelter from the " pelting of the pitiless storm"—which showers alike on the Peer and the peasant—in a shed, which was used by one of Mr. White's area in the manufacture of hurdles, in which occupation the man was then busily em ployed, when he was suddenly aroused from his labours by the unexpected visit of Royalty under his humble roof. Her Majesty, while under shelter, entered into conversation with the man respecting the manufacture of hurdles, and seemed highly pleased with the explanations given her. As soon as the rain ceased the. Royal I.a-ty departed, her Maj- sty leav ing a sovereign with the hurdle- manufactur, r, who afterwards assembled his companions, and in:rtd a bumper wass.wallowed in drinking health and long life to their aini.tble Sovereign The hurdle-maker has since got the cognomen among his fellow-labourers of the manufacturer of those articles to her Majesty. On this occasion, as usual, a close carriage we-'s in attendance on her Majesty, but the storm came on so sud dee,ly that she cculd not at the moment avail herself of it.— li r indsor Paper.

On Tuesday evening Mr. Prentice delivered an address on the subject of the Ballot in Mr. Ryland's Cloth-hall, no other pace of sufficient size being to be found in the town, the large r )oms being principally attached to houses in the Tory inte rest. There were between 300 and 403 l ersons p e_ent, being about as many as could hear owing to the peculiar construction of the room. JOHN RYLANDS, Esq., the father of Reform in the borough, being called to the Chair, addressed the meeting, and having characterised the Ballot es not only a great reform in itself, but as likely to be the means of obtaining other reforms, in troduced Mr. Prentice, who had been invited to come there and address them on the subject. Mr. PRENTICE began by saying that it had been as serted in a Saturday's paper that the Radicals of Wigan thought the ngitation for the Ballot only a Whig trick to divert attention from ot: 0- reforms. This was the most abtend cry that ever had Leen got up to stop the progress of Reform, and he could not believe in the honesty of those who raised it. When the Whigs obstructed any move ment they had most zealous coadjutors amongst the Tories, . and he was quite sure that if the latter believed that the Bal lot would divert attention from other Reform, they would have provided the best place of meeting in ell Warrington fur his lecture. lie was addressing persons..who perfectly well knew that under the Ballot at last election Mr. Davenport would have been returned instead of Mr. Blackburne. Mr. Davenport was for an extension of the Suffracre ; and Mr. Blackburne was against it. For want of the Ballot, there fore, Warrington recorded one vote against extension, in s'ead of one for it, making a difference of two in a divi sion. Was there amongst them a single person then who thought that, to obtain the Ballot, would retard an extension of the Suffrage ?—( No, no.) What urged the Reform elec tors in the late contest to saer'fice their time and their labours, and in some instances even their bread, but the desire to ad vance their own principles? And who would believe that when they had obtained the Ballot they would abandon those prin ciples for the silly pride of being an exclusive body of la voters? They m , ght have a Lare majority, but instead of saying " we shall rest contented with a doubtful victory," they would say "let us have the honest householders, and then we:shall beat the Tories by four to one."—(Cin ers.) Mr. Prentice went en to advocate the Ballot as an cffecti at mode of forwarding other reforms, and said that the real objection to it was the fear of the Aristocracy, both Wuig and Tory, that when the slender portion of the people that were now represented could vote without the fear of punishment, there would not only be an extension of the Suffrage but a repeal of the Corn-laws, and a sweeping away of sinecures in the state, the army, the navy, and the church, the receptacles of the idle younger branches of arittrerric fa milies. At the conclusion of his address, which lasted an hour, he was greeted with loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN, in putting to the meeting a motion fcr a vote of thanks to Mr. Prentice, said that no one could say that it had been a meeting of Whigs to divert attention from reform, for if half of what Mr. Prentice had said had been uttered twenty years ago, they would all have had the bmefit of a Light's lodgings under luck and key, and been sent off next morning to Lancaster Castle.--(Cheers and laughter.) The motion being carried by acclamation, and three ekeers being given for the Ballot, the meeting separated.—Man chester Times. CHURCU-RATES. (From theSomcrset County Gazette.) There arc few who have not read or heard of the oppresive measures to which hulk iduals have been sulj,cted in conse quence of the law respecting Church-rates. But though Oleic are few who have not read or heard the accounts of such transactions, there are many who have not seen, and we trust will never see, such a spectacle of it.tohrance, under the Lame and for the sake of religion, as was exhiLited at Chard, on Tuesday, Dec. 26. The urn of oppression has been stretched out to persecutico, mid the rod which has descended on some is said to he in pickle for ethers.
